The mammographic appearances of benign mammary mucocele-like lesions

Periodic mammographic follow-up of probably benign lesions.

The author prospectively evaluated the value of periodic mammographic surveillance among 3,184 consecutive cases of nonpalpable, probably benign breast lesions detected with mammography. Follow-up consisted of four mammographic examinations during a 3- or 3.5-year period. Clinical outcome was ascertained in each case after the study period, whether or not patients complied with the protocol. Pr...

Cranialization of the Frontal Sinus for Secondary Mucocele Prevention following Open Surgery for Benign Frontal Lesions

OBJECTIVE To compare frontal sinus cranialization to obliteration for future prevention of secondary mucocele formation following open surgery for benign lesions of the frontal sinus. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Tertiary academic medical center. PATIENTS Sixty-nine patients operated for benign frontal sinus pathology between 1994 and 2011.

CD117 and CD34 staining patterns in childhood benign mammary lesions.

OBJECTIVE CD117 and CD34 are markers that have both been implied in cancer progression in adult breast lesions. This study was conducted in order to create a retrospective documentation and to analyze the expression patterns of these markers on childhood benign lesions along with a comparison with adult breast lesions' staining patterns. MATERIAL AND METHOD Nine fibroadenomas, 2 tubular adeno...

Benign tumors and tumor-like lesions of the lung.

From 1974 to 1988, we experienced 36 benign tumors or tumor-like lesions of the lung out of 721 thoracotomies performed for the treatment of lung tumors. There were 21 hamartomas, nine inflammatory pseudotumors and six sclerosing hemangiomas. On average patients were in their fifth or sixth decade, which was somewhat younger than that for bronchogenic carcinoma. Marked female predominance was n...
